Woman pulled from rubble in deadly Chase Bank explosion in Youngstown.
The National Transportation Safety Board (NTSB) has announced that it is launching an investigation into the fatal explosion at the Chase Bank building in downtown Youngstown.
Specifically, the NTSB says it is sending "pipeline and hazardous materials investigators to investigate Tuesday's natural gas explosion in downtown Youngstown."
One person was killed and seven people hospitalized as a result of the explosion that took place at around 2:45 p.m. on Tuesday. The blast shook the downtown Youngstown area as bricks, glass and other debris littered the sidewalk.
The body of 27-year-old Chase Bank employee Akil Drake was recovered in the early morning hours of Wednesday. "With respect, we got him out because we were not going to leave until we found him," Youngstown Fire Chief Barry Finley told reporters during a news conference. "We were going to be there as long as it took. We found him so his family can have closure."
